Hi guys, thanks so far!
Considering it being a male Bellardia, it does not have two posteroventral bristles on the fore tibia and no pronounced discal bristles on T4. That would exclude B. pandia and B. viarum. Those species are remaining:
- B. vulgaris
- B. polita
- B. pubicornis
- B. vespillo

Any chance of further excluding those candidates? I do not have info about those, except B. vulgaris.
